Handmade Crafts For Sale

Go (Try end of season) to your local decorating store and ask for their old wallpaper sample books. Some we got have huge pieces of fabric in them to match the wallpapers, big enough for quilters patches or to make dolls clothes or pot-pourri sachets - and then the paper can be used to make collages, backgrounds for card-makers, matting and layering - the covers of the book can be cut off and used as 'table protectors' while you are doing your crafts too. Nothing wasted!! Try curtain shops too - the lady told my sister she could have as many as she could carry!
My cousin (also called Karen by the way) has a son with leukemia and my mom makes cards to sell to raise funds - I had this idea when I went to buy some fablon and saw all the sample book - I asked what he did with them and he said I take them to the skip - so now what we don't use we give to the play-group who cut them up and make pictures on rainy days
